Star Trek:Not so re-discovered

Yesterday I wrote about the new Star Trek show and showered it with praise. However, little did I know that the second episode was also out on the same day!

So today upon finding out about it, I watched the second episode.

The second episode begins right where the first on leaves us. Michael is caught by her Caption and is charges with treachery! She then is put in a cell within the ship. Meanwhile, all the Klingon troops arrive and their leader manages to convince all of them to attack.

Hence, we see the story take a tried and tested predictable route. With the Klingons overpowering the Star Fleet and destroying them like toys, We see Commander Michael escape her cell and rejoin her Captain at the bridge. Where they compose a plan to defeat the Klingons.

But, the story pulls of a plot twist towards the end which I will not spoil for you. The twist for me was the saving grace for the otherwise weak episode. Another weak link of the episode would be its CGI, which I praised before.

For me, the second episode was a letdown, as the tension was nowhere near what we saw in the first episode and the predictable storyline also did not help.

King Arhur the legend of misfortune !

King Arthur the legend of the sword: Before it was slaughtered by the critics', this was supposed to be an origin story for our hero Arthur portrayed brilliantly by Charlie Hunnam and is directed by the Sherlock Holmes Director Guy Richie. Richie tries his best to tell the story which has been told by several others before him in a new and interesting way. To his credit, he even achieves that to some extent. The movie tells the story of Arthur son of Uther, who is raised in a brothel and has grown up to be a thug of some sorts. Later on, he discovers he is the true king. A reality which he is not willing to admit. The movie feels unusually grounded, even though it is filled with mages and giant Elephant and an Octopus lady. Guy Richie gives the viewer reason to care for our protagonist and even creates a good antagonist in Jude Law. Jude Law plays the uncle of Arthur and the killer of his father. The build-up to the big fight is gripping and the supporting cast is stellar. ...

KG please don't make me go through this again F!

Hello readers, I have been down and out for what? A year maybe. But, fear not I am back again and will again claim to publish new blogs frequently! So, I for some reason decided to try a film of the Kannnada language. That film was called KGF. The film is about a rebel who is born into poverty with only his mother (whom he loses early in the movie.). The movie is the first part of the two parted series. The sequel will release sometime I don’t know when. Now, let’s talk about the movie. The film fails to live up to the hype big time! The pressure from the society is what drove me into watching this “masterpiece”, only to find the same old Indian movie formula baked again with different actors. The story has been told several time, it is by no means new. Furthermore, the direction is poor and jarring at best. The action scenes are age old, hero making goons float with one punch, the acting is loud and tone deaf. The side characters have no layer, no motive. The villain is t...
